Since 80s to late 90s many Indian/foreign(US etc) have been teaching
programming in C/C++.When I talked to 2 ex-professors in India,they observed
that the rigor when students go through using c/++ is higher than
java/python.For.e.g.manipulation of linked list,hash table.
Can you define
Learning programming via C will force you to understand data structures like
lists, queues and hash tables better purely for the reason that C does not
provide them in the standard library.
C++/Java/Python do via STL and standard libraries respectively. Generalizing
C++ with C shows how

That was the observation made by professors.I won't say C/c++ will make better
programmer than say java/Python but c\c++ programming will make one aware of
many things you mentioned than working in Python/java.

Agreed.
However, I think for a newbie these concepts a must to know.
